At the
Museum of the Open Road™(MOTOR), our passion is the American highway: how it affects
our lives and shapes the nation. We are also intrigued by what we can
learn by driving the highways and simply paying attention.

Weoffer
audio books–CDs
and cassette tapes–to play in your vehicle while
driving specific interstate highways. Each audio tour provides a timed commentary on the
region you are going through. Topics featured in the programs include:

The history and development of the region

Stories of its people: why they came here, why they stayed

Interviews with residents

Local customs, foods, festivals

The shape of the land and how it got that way

The region's natural history and resources

Agricultural crops you see from the road: What's grown
here and why

Business and industry: past, present, and future

Folklore, arts, music of the area

The highway itself: how it came to be and why it is
where it is

Even oddities you encounter along the road

We regard what we see from the road
as exhibits in our museum. They tell us about our home towns, our
communities, and our country. They help us better
understand each other–and ourselves.

Current audio tours―tapes and CDs―cover interstates
throughout Ohio. Audio travel programs covering other
interstates are in the works. We offer these as a resource for Ohio tourism
and for those interested in a road-by-road account of Ohio history. We also
offer our services to clients for audio programs created for their specific
needs.

In this website we'll introduce you to
the routes we now offer–for highlights, click on
current routes and then choose one of the
programs. There is also a monthly focus on a particular
MOTOR community. We hope you will return often to sample America's heritage
as discovered from the Open Road.

MOTOR Audio Tours are now available for iPod
